One of the conditions of living here is that my satellite connection  
is imperfect. Not only slow by city standards, but if I use too much  
bandwidth I get punished by being given even less. At least that is  
the apparent condition. For instance I also get poor radio reception  
down here. So when I discovered streaming radio I was in high clover-- 
for about forty-five minutes, at which point my connection speed got  
so slow it was unusable for the purpose. I did a bit of research and  
it seems that Hughes Net is well known for punishing we heavy users. I  
can understand why but I don't like it, just have to live with it.

So it is useless to tempt me with video clips. I've tried, they get to  
me in jerks. Good thing I am a reader.
